Thanks to all: none of these (yet) is the version I am remembering, but ALL of these are great and worth more listening-to!

I've heard a nice version of this by Chris Parkinson.   I have an album of his, 'Parky', I think it may even be on that. Cheers, Joe

Very interesting version. Very evocative. Never heard of John Kraus, will listen to the other stuff. Great

Less well known, but a great version by an interesting character who really has spent time before the mast, there is a recording by John Kraus on Myspace, here:-

Well, this is probably not what you are are looking for , but here is the Boat Band(that I play with) singing Shallow Brown. Hope you like it.

I have, somewhere, a recording of the song "Shallow Brown" that I really like, but I can't remember who it's by, so I can't find it in my collection.
I've checked past threads - other than the Cindy Kallett and Boarding Party versions mentioned in earlier Shallow Brown threads, can anyone name a version or versions of this song? Thanks!
